Miyamoto discusses the orignins of the nun-chuck, the games he’s working on for Wii, and more with Japanese dream magazine summarized by IGN. From the interview: “Wii is the main [platform],” [Miyamoto] said, “and I’m working on a number of titles, but there are some that have yet to be announced so I can’t give an exact number.” Pausing to think for a bit...

“From the studio that brought us Killer 7, comes an amazing new title for the Wii: Heroes.”

Wii, glimmer of the Nintendophile’s eye. Dismissing its unique abilities would be asinine. The “new gen” system has a lot going for it, with strong support from N-fans and jaded media alike to back it up. Graphics might not be much, but the 3rd and 1st party software and pizazzy 3D controller make it more than buzzworthy, to the point where they’re talkin’ Championshi...

So I thought I was being so cool posting this video I made of myself pressing my musical mario keyholder to post on you tube and then embed in this Infendo post. I thought all of you would thuroughly enjoy this tidbit of strange Mario merchandise I bought out of a capsule vending machine in Makuhari. Then after I uploaded it I found two videos of the same exact thing on you tube, one video featuri...

New information tidbits have broke from the September issue of Nintendo Power. In addition to Rayman and Red Steel features, here are the main points of interest via Go Nintendo: Nintendo Power hopes for a House of the Dead and Spore title for the Wii. They also confirm that Trauma Center: Second Opinion is a launch title. Ubisoft’s Ancel on Wii’s Graphics: “In terms of visuals, if it&...

Perusing Kotaku‘s DS tag I found this link and video of a Japanese guy who has somehow moded his DS lite to have a switch in the side that overclocks the processor(s) to almost 2 times the DS’s original speed. While this process has no practical application as of yet, the instructions are cool and the video is kind of silly.

Got some link goodies for you today, especially this Star Fox trailer that is looking better than I expected: Video: Star Fox DS gameplay Video: Bit Generations (GBA) gameplay Video: Duck Hunt Wii (E3) Mognet to return to FFIII on DS Free Animal Crossing DS downloads Negative Wii press [Thanks, Jaime, Will, and Vincent]

Infendo contributor Josh, writes: “Just a quick link to another product coming to Japan. Now Mario and friends are on Japanese band-aids. Known as Careleaves (?????) these bring me back to when we had Mario bandages. ?I am stuck on Mario, cause Mario’s stuck on me…?” There have been many off-brand Mario products over the years, what is your favorite?

Word on the street is that a few of the big chain stores are selling Drill Dozer for a discounted price. Target has if for $15, Bestbuy for $10, and Circuit City for $9. Great GBA game and worth the full price, so swoop this one up if you haven’t already. How much did you like Drill Dozer?

Kotaku reports: “So to summarize, if your DS Lite has the hinge crack that we’ve all seen, then Nintendo will likely repair it free of charge. It also sounds like Nintendo may have figured out that the crack was caused by overtightening.” Woot!

About.com writes: “Mario 2 was not really a Mario title at all, but a game released in Japan as Doki Doki Panic. Nintendo had decided the actual Mario 2 was too difficult for an overseas release and pulled the title and modified Doki Doki instead. In order to make Doki Doki Panic Mario-like, they made some small changes, upgraded the character graphics, and sent “Mario 2″ onto th...
